Steele's eyes rested on tho speaker.
No doubt you nro right" A Bardonic
flask Beamed to play on tho nobleman.
"At all event you volco tho accepted
telle.-
Pb glad you defend, don't prose
cute, people, Mr. Steele," said tho girl
Irrelevantly.
JL plcasantcr task perhaps."
"Speaking of Bending prisoners out
ef the country," broke In Sir Charles,
"1 am not In favor of tho penal sys
tem myself."
"Rather a simple way of getting rid
of undesirables transportation It has
always seemed to me," dissented Lord
Ronsdale.
"Don't they sometimes escape and
com back to England?" asked the
ClrL
"Not apt to when death for return'
lag stares them In the face," remarked
the nobleman.
"Death!" The girl 'shivered slightly.
John Steele smiled. "Tho penalty
hould certainly prove efficacious," he
observed lightly.
"Is not such a penalty for returning,
I mean very severe, Mr. Steele?"
asked Jocelyn Wray.
That," he laughed, "depends some
what on the point of view, the crimi
nal's or society's." His gaze returned
to her. The bright bit of color In her
audr again seemed to catch and bold
Ua glance.
Lord Ronsdale regarded both quick
ly. A frown crossed his face, and he
looked away to conceal the singularly
coM and vindictive gleam that sprang
to his eyes.
One evening about a fortnight later
tLord Ronsdale In a dlssatlsfled frame
f Bind strolled along Piccadilly. He
bad begun to (latter himself that the
lower? way to all ho desired lay be
fore him and that he had but to tread
It when another, as the soothsayers
yut it, bad crossed his path.
A plain man, a man without title!
orl Ronsdale told himself Miss Joce
lyn Wray was no better than an ar
rant coquette, but the next moment
questioned this conclusion. Had she
ot really been a little taken by the
fellow? Certainly she seemed not
verse to his company. When she
willed, and she willed often, she sum
moned him to her side. Nor did be
bow appear reluctant to come at her
kidding. Self assertive though he had
shown himself to be, ho obeyed, sans
lemur, the wavo of my lady's little
hand. Was It a certain largeness and
reserve about him that had awakened
kcr curiosity? From her high social
position had she wished merely to test
ker own power and amuso herself aft
er a light fashion, surely youth's and
eauty's privilege?
Hut, whatever tho girl's motive, her
conduct In the matter reacted on my
lord. The fellow was In the way
Tery much so. How could bo himself
ay court to her when aho frivolously,
if only for the moment, preferred this
commoner's company?
What mndo tho situation even more
anomalous to Ronsdale and the less
patiently to be borne was that Sir
Charles understood and sympathized
with his desires and position In the
natter. And why not? Ronsdale's
father and Sir Charles had been old
and close friends. There were rea
sons that pointed to the match as a
suitable one, and Sir Charles by bis
general manner and attitude bad long
shown he would put no obstacle In the
way of the nobleman's suit for the
hand of his fair niece. As for Lady
Wray, Lord Ronsdale knew that he
had In that practical and worldly per
son a stanch ally of bis wishes. These
had not become less ardent since be
had witnessed the unqualified success
of the beautiful colonial girl in Lon
don, noted bow men Illustrious In va
rious walks of life, grave diplomats,
stately ambassadors, were swayed by
her light c hurra and Impulsive frank
ness of youth. And to have her who
could have all London at ber feet, In
cluding bis distinguished self, show a
predilection, however short lived and
capricious, for
"Confound the cad! Where did be
come from? Who nro his family If
he has one?"
As tho noblcmnn ascended the steps
ef his club ho seemed again to be
thinking deeply. Within, his preoccu
pation did not altogether desert him.
In a corner, with tho big pages of tho
Times beforo blm, bo read with scant
interest the doings of tho day. From
behind another paper tho face of a
(ray haired, good uatured uppearlng
person, quite different off the bench,
chanced to look out at him.
"Kb? That you, Ronsdale?" bo said,
reaching for a steaming glass of hot
boverogo at hla elbow, "How is your
friend Sir Charles Wray? I had the
pleasure of meeting blm tho other
morning in tho courtroom."
"Same as usual, I Imagine, Judge
Becsoa."
"And bis fair niece, she takes kindly
to the town and its gnyetles?"
"Very kindly," dryly.
"A beautiful girl our young Austra
lian;" 'Jfhe elder tuau toyed .with bis
glass, stTrrtnl tho contents and sipped.
"By the way, didn't I see John Steele
In their box nt tho opera tho other
night?"
"It Is possible," shortly.
"Rising man, that," observed the
other lightly. "Combination of brains
awl force. Did you orr notlco hla
(1st? It might belong to n prlzedghter,
except that the bauds aro perfectly
kept. You'd know nt once ho was a
man accustomed to tlghtlug, who
would sweep nsldo obstacles, get what
ho wanted 1"
"Think so?" Lord Ronsdale smoked
steadily. "You as a magistrate. 1 sup
pose, know all about him?"
"Not much, only that he Is an r lieu."
"An alien?" quickly. "Not a colo
nial?" (To Bo Continued.)
